- The problem isn't solved by changing the prefs. I suspect that the
- version you have wants a PAL machine.
-
- There are two ways you can try to make your NTSC machine a PAL machine.
-
- One: Change a jumper(I don't know the number) located near the AGNUS
- Chip. This controls whether the machine is PAL or NTSC. You
- could connect an external switch to this jumper so you don't have
- to take the machine apart when you want to switch between PAL and
- NTSC. I've done this on a A500 system.
-
- Two: Try a program called DEGRADER. This prg is meant to get old prgs
- running on newer machines. It has an option to make the system
- think it is a PAL machine. This might fool Imagine into working.
